Batu69 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Aegis is a powerful script for Windows 7 and Windows 8 devices that takes care of all components related to Microsoft's news operating system Windows 10. In addition to that, it is performing additional operations such as adding a number of Microsoft hosts to the blocklist, setting Windows Update to check/notify, and more. Since it is script-based, it is easy enough to check out what it does in detail, and even to add or remove commands from the script to adjust it accordingly as its author allows code modifications or the sharing of the code or components. Aegis in detail Aegis is updated regularly to reflect changes that Microsoft makes, for instance by taking into account new updates or modified updates. The application is offered via a Mega download currently. The package is offered as a zip file that you need to download to your system. Once you have unpacked it, you find several command files listed in the directory that you can edit directly using any plain text editor. The file setacl.exe, in case you are wondering supports the managing of Windows permissions from the command line. How to use it All you need to do is right-click on the file aegis.cmd and select "run as administrator" to get started. Follow the on-screen instructions from that moment on to complete the process. Note: It is highly recommended to create a system backup before the program is run on a machine as you may not have any options to undo the changes should things go wrong. So what does it do in detail? Disables or hides the Windows 10 download directory. Disables GWX (Get Windows 10), OneDrive, Telemetry, Wifisense. Uninstalls or hides 31 KB updates. Disables 31 schedules tasks. Uninstalls Diagtrack. Disables Remote Registry. Blocks 188 Microsoft Hosts on 221 IPs. Change Windows Update settings to check/notify instead of download/install.

steven36 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Stable Release v1.16 https://github.com/th3power/aegis-voat/archive/v1.16.zip Updated Wed Mar 09 Quote Internet Explorer: Some updates which may contain critical security patches for ie, as well as automated delivery of ie and related updates, will be blocked. Due to the obvious security risk posed by running an unpatched browser we strongly advise to uninstall ie. If you plan to continue to use ie you should probably not run this script - or manually patch and do so at your own risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haxzion Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Clean your Windows from Microsoft crapware. Block 197 bad hosts, change windows update to check/notify (do not download/install), disable automatic delivery of internet explorer via windows update, disable ceip/gwx/skydrive(aka onedrive)/spynet/telemetry/wifisense, disable remote registry, disable 31 scheduled tasks, disable windows 10 download directory, remove diagtrack, sync time to ntp.org, hide/uninstall 50 kb updates (see below). Windows Update: Aegis will not block Windows Update. Instead it will change your Windows Update settings to 'check/notify but do not download/install'. We strongly advise users to continue installing new updates and to not completely disable them. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
